Dan noticed that Jorn Barger once wrote: -> ***************ALERT********************************************** -> The animation "cow.vt" that was just posted, in uuencoded form, is -> dangerous and caused my *Mac* to lock up when uudecoded and catted, -> remotely, with Zterm. How in the world could vt100 codes lock up a computer when received through a terminal program? There is no way that is possible. After all, it's only ASCII characters that are being sent across the serial port! I think your problem is that you are using a Mac. -- Dan .----------------=------------------------------------------------------. | da...@cc.ysu.edu | My views and opinions represent those of every | | da...@wbc.com | student and employee of Youngstown State University, | | (216) 562-1110 | and all people residing within 20 miles of campus. | `----------------=------------------------------------------------------'
